Buy Dirt Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]A few days 'fore he turned eighty
[G]He was sitting out back in a rocker
[F]He said, "What you been up to lately?"
I told him, "Chasing a dol[C]lar"
And in between sips of coffee
[G]He poured this wisdom out
[F]Said, "If you want my two cents
on making a dollar count"

[Chorus 1]
Buy [C]dirt
Find the one you can't live with[G]out
Get a ring, let your knee hit the [Am]ground
Do what you love but call it [F]work
And throw a little money
in the plate at [C]church
Send your prayers up
and your roots down [G]deep
Add a few limbs to your family [Am]tree
And watch their pencil marks
And the [F]grass in the yard
All grow up
[C]'Cause the truth about it is
[G]It all goes by real quick
[Am]You can't buy happ[F]iness
But you can [C]buy dirt

[Verse 2]
[C]Before you get caught on that ladder
[G]Let me tell you what it's all about
[F]Find you a few things that matter
That you can put a fence around
And then he laid it out

[Chorus 2]
Buy [C]dirt
Find the one you can't live with[G]out
Get a ring, let your knee hit the [Am]ground
Do what you love but call it [F]work
And throw a little money
in the plate at [C]church
Send your prayers up
and your roots down [G]deep
Add a few limbs to your family [Am]tree
And watch their pencil marks
And the [F]grass in the yard
All grow up
[C]'Cause the truth about it is
[G]It all goes by real quick
[Am]You can't buy happ[F]iness

[Bridge 1]
But you can buy...
[Am](dir[G]t)
You can [F]buy [C]dirt
[G]And thank the good Lord for it
'Cause He ain't makin' any more of it

[Chorus 3]
So buy [C]dirt
Find the one you can't live with[G]out
Get a ring, let your knee hit the [Am]ground
Do what you love but call it [F]work
And throw a little money
in the plate at [C]church
Send your prayers up
and your roots down [G]deep
Add a few limbs to your family [Am]tree
And watch their pencil marks
And the [F]grass in the yard
All grow up
[C]'Cause the truth about it is
[G]It all goes by real quick
[Am]You can't buy happ[F]iness
But you can [C]buy dirt
